  1. Thanks for the assistance. I'm giving the proprietary driver a try. The card is a GeForce 6100 integrated chip. I did have the nvidia driver installed, but forgot that I switched kernels. I'll let you know how it works out.
  2. Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to Mandriva 2007.1 (installed from One disc). Everything is working okay, except that I can't seem to get a resolution higher than 1024x768. I'm using an LCD with a 1280x1024 native resolution, and my xorg.conf file is configured correctly (as far as I can tell). However, KDE isn't showing any higher resolutions. Anyone have any thoughts? Here is my xorg.conf file for reference: # File generated by XFdrake (rev 142098) # ********************************************************************** # Refer to the xorg.conf man page for details about the format of # this file. # ********************************************************************** Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia97xx" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" # font server independent of the X server to render fonts.

  3. The problem with the 64-bit JRE from Sun is that it doesn't come with a browser plugin. The amd64 blackdown JRE comes with a plugin, but I'm finding that it has some major stability issues. Browser crashes shortly after an applet is loaded, so that's no good. Could be any number of things causing that, but in my case, it's not particularly useful. When I feel like a project, I may try installing the 32-bit JRE from Sun and loading the plugin through nspluginwrapper. Anyone tried this yet? Flash works great through nspluginwrapper, except that I can't seem to get sound through it. Haven't taken the time to try to fix that yet.
  4. I just switched to a 64-bit system and decided to go for all the marbles with the x86_64 mandriva 2007 build. I had a few hardware issues that would most likely be present regardless of the OS build (nvidia chipset, need I say more), but otherwise, I'm very happy with the performance, and the few other issues have been taken care of. The only things that were really hanging me up were the browser plugins, and nspluginwrapper solved most of that for me, as well as the blackdown jre build which contains an amd64 java plugin. Benchmarking aside, I'm of the philosophy that if you're running a 64-bit system, you may as well go with the 64-bit OS. Unless you have some very specific needs, chances are that someone will have a solution to any problem you may run into. It really wasn't much more trouble than getting things set up with a 32-bit build, and I suspect that down the road I'll be happy that I went ahead with it now. Just my 2 cents. :D
  5. Found some info on the Club forum that got me hooked up. The device is still listed as unknown in MCC, but it is working. Added this to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
  6. Thanks again for the help. I did manage to come up with another solution. nspluginwrapper seems to be working quite nicely, and will let you run 32-bit plugins on a 64-bit firefox build. Flash 9 is working now on mine, and I'm getting Java set up now. more info...
  7. Thanks for the help! Do you mean going with a 32-bit Firefox build, or a 32-bit distro altogether?

  9. Hi, I'm running Mandriva 2007 x86_64, and am having some serious plugin issues with Firefox 2.0. I'm using the mdv rpm of Firefox, and I can't seem to load a single plugin aside from the default ones that are in Fx. No flash, no java, etc. To make things a bit weirder, Sun hasn't released a 64-bit version of JRE with a browser plugin, so they ask that you use the 32-bit version. I'm cool with that, but the plugin will not load. I've symlinked it into every mozilla plugins directory I can find (I've done quite a bit of Fx plugin wrangling in the past, so I know the dozen or so places they can conceivably go), but nothing seems to work. I deleted pluginreg.dat, no help there either. Is this a know issue, or am I just missing something. Thanks in advance for any help!
  10. One of the mirrors does have a working RPM for Firefox 2.0. It's not one of the official mirrors, something else I got from easy-urpmi. In any case, it works nicely.
  11. Thanks again for your help. In MCC, it won't let me run the config tool as the card is listed under Unknown/Other rather than Soundcards. Tried adding that line to modprobe.conf, and after rebooting, it still wasn't showing up in lsmod. As a last ditch effort, I put it in module.preload, and it did load the module after that, but the card still wasn't recognized. On a related note, I just realized today that IDE devices aren't being detected either, but the IDE controller appears to be configured properly. Worked okay during install, though. Integrated NIC wouldn't configure either, so I through a PCI card in and got that to work okay, so I'm not terribly concerned about that. It looks like the kernel has all of the necessary modules, something just isn't gelling the way it should. In any case, if anyone has any more suggestions, it would be most appreciated.
  12. Thanks for your help! After looking around a bit more, I think the correct module is snd-hda-intel. I can load it up with modprobe, but can't seem to get my modprobe.conf command right so that it is loaded at boot time. Could I trouble you for a little help on that? Thanks so much!
  13. Hi everyone, I've been using Mandriva for about 5 years now, so I consider myself pretty familiar with most things. However, I just switched to an Athlon 64 with an embedded nVidia audio device (MCP61V chipset, believe it is the regular n-Force audio). In MCC, under hardware, the device is listed as unknown. Here's the info: Identification Vendor: ?nVidia Corporation Description: ?MCP61 High Definition Audio Media class: ?NOT_DEFINED Connection Bus: ?PCI Bus PCI #: ?0 PCI device #: ?5 PCI function #: ?0 Vendor ID: ?0x10de Device ID: ?0x03f0 Sub vendor ID: ?0x1019 Sub device ID: ?0xa88d Misc Module: ?unknown To further complicate issues, alsaconf won't load. It segfaults with this error: /usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 435: 3844 Segmentation fault $DIALOG --msgbox "$msg" 20 63 It's a clean install from a full 2007.0 Free disk set, and everything else is working great. Is there a way that I can force a module to load for the device. I imagine it uses the intel8x0 module (although I can't be certain), but without alsaconf, I have no clue how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  14. I gotta say, I'm very impressed with OOo 2.0. It has everything! I'm still trying to navigate Base, but otherwise I love it. The day I downloaded it, the install instructions for Linux hadn't yet been posted, hence my original confusion. Overall, an extremely nice package that will definitely make OOo an even better contender in the Productivity market.
  15. Oops, guess I was a little hasty in asking that question in the first place. I hadn't realized that the tar was already in RPM. And what a nice package, too! Mandriva menus and all. Thanks for the info on installing it, though, that threw me at first. After that, though, very nice!
